Robert Remini, National Book Award winner and historian of the U.S. House of Representatives, speaks about his new book At the Edge of the Precipice, a recounting of the Compromise of 1850, an act of political will that held the nation together for another 10 years, giving the North time to industrialize and find a leader in Abraham Lincoln.
A masterful narrative by an eminent historian, At the Edge of the Precipice also offers a timely reminder of the importance of bipartisanship in a bellicose age.
